(3) more little ones found in the main tank. I have them acclimating over to the new tank as I type.

Thanks guys....I still have (4) so we'll see. I keep a close eye on the main tank as well to see if any more have shown up there. Nothing of late.

James, I'm very sorry to hear about your tragedy. I think all of use who do special breeding of one type or another experience challenges at one time or another.

Here's crossing fingers you can get your project going again!

Well this has nearly come to a screeching halt. One water change can make a world of a difference.

Routine WCs on Friday on half the tanks. Check on Saturday, the Cocama/WTT tank is cloudy and I lost (4) of the tigers including papa. WTH! It was the only tank that had issues which I find very odd. Immediately did another water change and the (4) remaining tigers seem ok .... for now.

Such an odd event. I'm not taking any chances. The jug that was used is out of here. That was the only thing different as all the jugs were filled up at the same time.

Hopefully...there will be a m/f match with the remaining little guys.

You are almost assured to have a fem in the mix then. That's actually a very nice number to start your breeding program with!

Many people have had the only option of starting with two and going from there, but if your's breed true from the start (we'll see), you are looking already at some nice diversity in your strain.

Because the whites appeared so easily in the F1, I'd say you have a good chance of these being recessives that may breed true! Can't wait to see the next generations!
